For my first project in #Factorio circuit networks, I ended up building a fully automated order-picking train station (that works with logistic trains), with a resettable counter of picked items, because that is totally a beginner project

If you care about community governance topics, then you should probably be paying attention to the #NixOS governance talks right about now :)
They are starting a student protest at the university of Lausanne, which asaik is the first one in Switzerland.

Okay... I want to say this. Right here and right now. When you're around disabled people, you should do the following:
1. Don't speak to someone else who is with the disabled person as if the person can't speak for themself. This is incredibly rude and harmful. There's nothing wrong with communicating with a disabled person. Ever. There isn't a problem. There. Is. Not. A. Problem. With any of it. Talk directly to us.
2. Don't ignore disabled people. Talk to us. Ask us questions. We are people just like anyone else living in this world. Asking questions and having conversations with disabled people is not wrong, rude, disrespectful or harmful. It's okay. Seriously. It's fine.
3. If a disabled person tells you to stop doing something, even if you think it's somehow helpful to them or you think they need you to do it for them, stop. Seriously. Just stop doing it. They're telling you to stop for a reason. Society has this common need to overdo it when it comes to helping disabled people. If they're asking you to stop, then stop.
4. Respect us. There is not a single person, and that includes disabled people, in this world who doesn't deserve basic human respect.
5. Don't look down on us. We have disabilities, but we can still live our lives. We just do things differently than people without disabilities do. It isn't something to be ashamed of. I also hate the societal stereotype that disabled people going about their lives are an inspiration. Stop thinking that too. We're people. We live. We exist. We have just adapted in our own ways, and as such, we may live a little differently. And that's okay.
Once again. Ableism needs to stop existing. Please, please do not participate in it. It's a real problem that hurts so many people
It's really still kind of surreal to me how we're here now. It may not look like much, and it isn't much in terms of immediate impact, but *so much* time and effort went into making this seemingly impossible thing happen, and it will make the actual governance work so much easier.
This has taken easily hundreds of hours for me alone...
gender euphoria, cis, anecdote
my laser hair removal technician is cisgender and has been doing this line of work for decades with a tremendous amount of passion and empathy
how did she get started? in her 20s, she had awful dysphoria because of her facial hair. she had laser hair removal herself and it was such an impactful experience she changed her career entirely so she could help others find the same relief and comfort
goes to show this is a very human experience, regardless of your gender
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
